And now for something completely different...

No change, still dizzy, go back to the doctor today for either another chair ride or a discussion of taking a break blah blah blah blah blah.

But I don't want to talk about that.  I want to talk about food.

I do have to say, one of the things that is helping me get through this whole crappy time is I am still forcing myself to keep a routine including working out (well, lifting weights since anything else really just makes me dizzy) and cooking, and cooking is making is soo happy.  I'm really branching out and making new meals all of the time and I've been making my way through more and more vegetarian recipes as well as making up my own.  Even if the act of cooking and moving around the kitchen makes me spin, I honestly don't care, because sometimes just sitting on the couch does the same, so damnit, I'd rather be doing something that makes me happy and benefits Robbio.  :)

Last night I made a parsley potato pizza crust and topped it with caramelized onions, roasted red peppers and goat cheese.  SLURP!  Too pretty not to take a pic and share.

And speaking of pretty, it only took 1 and a half years, but we finally got Plumeria flowers on our tree....and they're gorgeous!  Plumerias are absolutely my favorites and remind me of Hawaii which is another thing making me happy right now.  LOVE these!  One fell off yesterday and I wore it tucked behind my ear all day - I could smell it occasionally and I swear it transported me right back to Hawaii.  Good times.

Carry on.  As you were.
